Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Show number of characters as I type in email

« Last post by lanux128 on August 15, 2007, 11:29 PM »

That problem: I run my screen at 125% of normal size using the setting found under Display Properties, which makes CountAsYouType's font too big for its windows. Most, but not all, programmes can handle this. Be good if the programme's text could allow for this.

hehe.. i didn't know that large display's would distort the GUI, thanks kiwi2b for pointing it out.. anyway, i'll check the AHK forums and try to code around non-fixed dimensions. and it seems that i'll have to give this large display setting the priority..

having seen ThumbWin's abilities, there is another program that has a unique minimising feature - DM2's floating icon. there is also a review here at DC forums..

you can use Skrommel's WinWarden which has the ability to monitor windows and resize (and reposition) them..

nitrix-ud, IIRC you can also drag the files shown in Farr's result window into another location.. btw, if you want to use the context-menu to move/copy files around, this software would come in handy..

you're welcome, @thehop.. i don't understand German but with Google's help, i see that the a user from that forum have made a script in AHK for you. but since i've yet to run FullScreen.ahk, i'd like to know what is the function lacking in that script? if you didn't want the fullscreen option, try commenting out the highlighted section in the image below..



also among image viewers there is such a feature available in IrfanView.. check out the screenshots..

this AHK command: [WinSet, Style,..] can do what you want.. e.g. this snippet from the help file:

[Select]

WinSet, Style, -0xC00000, A  ; Remove the active window's title bar (WS_CAPTION).

can produce this:

for someone who doesn't use Outlook, i learned a lot over the weekend.. one of the thing is that Outlook uses two different window class and window titles based on the option highlighted in the image below. so hopefully now the problem that kiwi2b mentioned would have been solved..



Note: this is an interim release only, eventually it will be incorporated into the main script..

It's BELLEVILLE. 

For those that may be unfamiliar with where that 3 square mile patch of land is, it's a suburb of Newark, and bordered by Kearny, North Arlington, Lyndhurst, Nutley, and Bloomfield.

i wish i could join you guys as the DDs are getting frequent but looks like i'll have to pass unless they are rotated among continents like the Olympics.. btw, at least now i know where is belleville..

Still no luck with v1.36, outlook or express.

-kiwi2b (August 10, 2007, 08:59 PM)

kiwi2b: can you post a screenshot of your Outlook's compose window? by any chance, are you using non-English Windows? if you are using the English version, then try quitting the program then delete the INI file that is created (filename: count.ini) then start the program again..

Real time word count would be nice, but button access would be okay too. Here's hoping...

-kiwi2b (August 10, 2007, 08:59 PM)

hopefully this would not be a problem.. as mentioned earlier, i'll be able to implement real-time word-count soon..

Also, is it possible to count words as well as characters?

-kiwi2b (August 09, 2007, 06:09 AM)

actually it's possible but not in real-time, though.. i can add a button or a hot-key that can do that & display the word-count in a message-box.. is that ok?
